Front drivetrain binding
Hi all,
I have a 2001 expedition with awd. When making slow turn either direction, going forwards or backwards, I get an intermittent binding coming from the front drivetrain. I have removed the front driveshaft and the problem went away. I have already replaced the ujoints in the drive shaft and that didn't help. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

It is awd, and the fluids were changed by a drive train shop at 60k. I don't use the 4wd very often and this trouble has started within the last 6 months or so. The shop I am using now thought at first the problem was the rear differential clutches and replaced them. I pulled the front shaft after that and found the trouble gone.They will be looking into the Transfer case and front differential next. Are there clutches in the front differential also? I have read in some of these threads also that the electric motor on the transfer case also seems to cause od troubles
